· 1/2 tsp chili garlic sauce optional for spice. or sub red chili flakes

Instructions
1. Chop the veggies as small as possible or pulse them in a food processor.
2. In a pan, saute carrots, onion, cabbage until soft. Crumble in tofu. Add in the soy sauce or coconut sauce, garlic, ginger, and toasted sesame oil (optional). Saute for 10 minutes until completely cooked. Remove from heat.
3. Add about 1-1.5 tsp of the mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the wonton wrapper forming a triangle. Seal the edges with water and press down. Take the two ends of the “triangle” and press the edges together. The wonton package should have instructions with images on the back.
4. Preheat air-fryer to 350 F. Use non-stick air-fryer or spray with a little cooking spray. Add wontons into the air fryer gently. Don’t stack them on top of one another. Cook for 5 minutes or until golden brown. They burn quickly so watch them!
5. Combine all ingredients for the dipping sauce in a bowl and mix.
6. Serve wontons fresh, dip in the sauce, and enjoy!
